We've been waiting for Tiger Woods to reassert his dominance atop the golf world for quite some time now, really since his fall from grace for those counting at home. 

With four wins, including a group one at the Tavistock Cup, this season and a tie for fourth place at Augusta in the 2013 Masters, Woods came into the opening round of the 2013 Players Championship with something to prove. 

He did just that on Thursday afternoon. 

Woods proved that both his 2013 Masters performance and his strong start to the 2013 season were no fluke, birdieing six holes on Thursday en route to a five-under performance and a spot near the top of the Day 1 leaderboard at TPC Sawgrass. 

Here's a look at Woods' Day 1 scorecard:

Hole 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Par 4 5 3 4 4 4 4 3 5 4 5 4 3 4 4 5 3 4 Score 4 (4) 3 4 4 4 4 3 (4) (3) (4) (3) 3 4 4 (4) 3 [5] *Birdies in parenthesis (), while bogeys are in brackets [].




Woods was one of the best golfers on the course on Thursday, Roberto Castro's course-record 63 not withstanding. Wood got off to a good start and continued his strong play all the way until No. 18, where he dropped a stroke there to move back to five-under par. 

Tiger got things going with a birdie on hole No. 2. 



He didn't drop his score again until the par-five ninth, when he started a four-holes birdie streak that didn't end until hole No. 13. Woods got hot in the middle of the round and continued his push on No. 16—his final birdie of the afternoon. 



The round has to be considered a win by Tiger and everyone that is in his corner, specifically because he's only won the tournament once (2001) in 15 career appearances. Only the Northern Trust Open has been harder for Tiger where he is winless in his PGA career. 

Woods didn't play like a golfer who had on...
